The Gators will start the spring season hosting the Florida Invitational featuring in-state opponents from Jan. 11-12. Florida will remain on its home courts to face North Florida (Jan. 19) before hosting ITA Kickoff Weekend (Jan. 25-26).
February will mark the beginning of dual play with an initial matchup in Ann Arbor against Michigan. The Gators will then head to Chicago for ITA National Indoors (Feb. 7-10). Continuing on the road slate, the team will travel to Auburn (Feb. 23), and head to South Carolina to play the Gamecocks on Feb. 28.
The Gators will remain on the road for SEC play going into March with a contest at Georgia (Mar. 2), before a two-match home stretch hosting: Texas (Mar. 7) and Texas A&M (Mar. 9). Florida will get back on the road to face Mississippi State (Mar. 14), and Alabama (Mar. 16).
To close out the month of March, Florida will welcome three conference opponents to the Alfred A. Ring Tennis Complex: Missouri (Mar. 21), Vanderbilt (Mar. 23), and Arkansas (Mar. 28). The final match of March will take place on the courts of new SEC members, Oklahoma (Mar. 30).
